<p>Here are a few schools that are fairly highly rated that are not on the list above and look to recruit NMS types:</p>
<p>Boston University
Carleton College
University of Southern California
Tulane
Emory</p>
<p>These are all privat schools. USC for example has set aside 100 full tuition scholarships and 150 half tuition scholarships. These usually go to NMS types.</p>
<p>I would suggest doing 2 things:</p>
<p>1) Getting an online subscription to USNews. Investigate each college that you are interested in. Check the "Tuition and Financial Aid" section the USNews lists for the school.</p>
<p>2) Go to the website for each school and look for their scholarships and their criterea.</p>
<p>Once you chack the school for #1 what you are looking for is how your stats compare to yours. If you are in the top 25% of their SAT range and you have an appropriate class rank then you should have a good chance at some merit aid. For example, here is the information on Tulane:</p>
<p>Non-need-based aid
Avg. merit award
(% awarded aid) $16,402 (28%) $15,306 (29%)
Avg. athletic scholarship
(% awarded aid) $24,738 (3%) $28,469 (3%)</p>
<p>I interpret this as meaning that the top 28% of their applicant pool get an average of $16,402. That is a significant discount off the full price of about $42,000. Anyway, good luck with your search and don't make your decision just on the money.</p>
